Steven Naismith in 'tale of two halves' Hearts assessment after St Mirren rescue mission

Steven Naismith has labelled Hearts' performance at St Mirren as a 'tale of two halves'.

The Jambos found themselves two goals down at the break in Paisley in a performance blasted as 'nowhere near acceptable' from the interim boss. They recovered in the second period to rescue a point with Lawrence Shankland firing home from the penalty spot deep into added-time to share the spoils in a four-goal contest.

Aberdeen's draw with Hibs means it was a missed opportunity for the capital club to close the gap on Barry Robson's men in the race for third in the Premiership. The gap remains at five points with just three fixtures to go - with the Dons making the trip to Tynecastle next weekend in a huge showdown in the battle for best of the rest.
